Canoe Solidity

Lightweight Javascript library for decoding constructor arguments.

Summary

Canoe works by reading a contract's ABI and decoding the constructor bytecode with the argument types provided.

Requirements

• ABI schema 2.0

Documentation

Functions

decodeConstructorArgs(contractABI, bytecode) ⇒ Object

Decodes constructor args.

encodeConstructorArgs(inputs) ⇒ string

Generates constructor args bytecode based on input data.

decodeConstructorArgs(contractABI, bytecode) ⇒ Object

Decodes constructor args.

Kind: global function
Returns: Object - decodedArgs - Object representing decoded args with name, type, and data fields

Param	Type	Description
contractABI	Object	ABI of contract whose args to decode
bytecode	string	Constructor args bytecode

encodeConstructorArgs(inputs) ⇒ string

Generates constructor args bytecode based on input data.

Kind: global function
Returns: string - bytecode - Constructor args bytecode

Param	Type	Description
inputs	Array.<Object>	Array of objects with name, and type fields
inputs[].name	string	Name of argument
inputs[].type	string	Type of argument

Supported Types

• bool
• uint
• int
• fixed
• address
• bytes1, bytes2, bytes3, ..., bytes32
• byte
• string
